Rage: Redemption by Candi FoxMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Interesting Spin Off
This book comes between books 3 and 4 of the Naked Truth series by the same author, Candi Fox. It’s needed to understand the timeline which makes it less of a spin-off and more a change of focus in my opinion. However, there is a definite change of focus, so it makes sense to label it as such.
This spin-off is about Odin’s Wolves MC, which is made up of Odin’s warrior wolves of legend. They are immortal and half shifter and half god. When they felt Freya wake on earth a year or so ago, they decided to move to White Horse OK, to be close to her avatar. What they didn’t realise that by coming there they would be meeting someone who had been important to them a previous life.
This story is about Jami, or Rage as he is known. We actually met him in an earlier Naked Truth book when he seemed to know Harley, but this was never followed upon. Rage met his mate, Desiré when she walked into the meeting room to waitress on her first day in her new job. He knows it is her immediately and a huge chunk of ice in his chest begins to melt at the thought of having a mate.
The problems is that Desiré comes with a violent ex-husband, who she has been running from for 3 years, to keep her and her son safe. This time her ex has involved the Twisted, the corrupted werewolves that Odin’s Wolves MC fight as their duty and right. Harley came across the Twisted in book 3 of The Naked Truth Series and they infected her lover with their venom. Harley and OWMC’s purposes align and they work together.
The POV is from the OWMCs side. Harley is a supporting character in this book. In some ways, this book is more like a traditional Paranormal Romance/MC book. It’s one alpha male and one damaged female in need of rescue. I enjoyed the book and it filled in some information that I felt was missing from The Naked Truth books.
I like the idea of Odin’s Wolves and the mythology of it all and I enjoy an adventure into the territory of the gods and goddesses. As with previous books in The Naked Truth series there was a bit of jumping around and assumptions made that weren’t explained until later, when the characters (and the author) acted as though it had been explained to us poor confused readers, but it hadn’t, and we just had to scratch our heads for a while until it became obvious.
There was plenty of heat and the romance worked ok, but as is often the case with these fated mate stories it was a bit insta-love for my taste. Still, I’m sure I’ll read the next book in the series because I kind of like the supporting characters and I’ll be interested to see what happens to them.
